Chapter 8 - Identity Services

Authentication

• Making sure you are you
• Confirming identity
• First test for access

Authorization

Authorization only comes after authentication. If you aren't authenticated, there will never be a question of authorization. Authorization takes your identity and asks, is this identity allowed access?

• Comes after authentication
• Do you get access?
• Granular control

Access Management

• Authentication vs. Authorization
  • You must know the difference to create effective access management
• Keep out the unwanted
  • Access management is critical to ensure only the right people and processes have access
